Originally created by @Z1ni on GitHub (May 30, 2020).

Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be nice to optionally prefix tab titles with the profile names / custom text to ease tab discoverability.
Currently I can have multiple tabs that have the same title and I have no way to know which tab is which (except icons when using different profiles).

E.g. when using SSH the title might be "~/folder" as set by the shell. It would be nice to have a setting that allows me to set a custom prefix per profile (maybe "tabTitlePrefix": "Foo: " which would result in a tab titled "Foo: ~/folder") and/or prefix the tab title with the profile name (which would result in a tab titled "Profile name: ~/folder") etc. This of course wouldn't solve situations where there's multiple tabs using the same profile.

See: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/6183

Imho once that exists, then one can use the command-line and shell scripts to have things like automatic directory-prefixed tabs
